Java Plug-in not working with WinXP SP2 Registry Key Missing Error Pop-Up

I have WinXp PRO with SP2 and the Oct 12 Security Update Patch for SP2 loaded and I went to my Control Panel and saw that the JavaRuntime Environment 1.4.2_04 icon was missing and when I went to click the Java Plugin icon to Open it, I got the following message in a Error Pop-Up window:
The system cannot find the registry key specified:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java pPlug-in\1.4.2_04\JavaHome
I then went to Chage Access Program Controls and when I clicked on the Change box for the program, it wanted me to re-install the whole environment.
Prior to doing this, and potentially screwing up my MS winXp environment, I went to the Sun support page for Java Plug-in and I did get the dancing elmo appear as they said I would but I noticed that my environment was MS VM, not Java and that I was out of date and a newer update was avaliable.
The downloads page for the plug-in states clearly that it supports WinXp SP1 and NOT SP2.
SO, my question is, do I need to re-install anything or wait till the whole SP2 issue and java with (BITS) issue gets resolved and just use the MS VM engine during my browsing time? Is there a workaround and what impact will this have on my system? I am not developing Java Apps but am a Power user in Windows who is wondering if applets and general browsing might be easier, faster and more fluid if the Java Runtime was enabled as opposed to the MS VM solution?
Any ideas or thoughts on this very timely issue would be greatly appreciated as I see others have tried to post related issues but none that succinctly combines what I have asked for here in this post.
Thanks from NYC -Phil

did you know that XP SP2 has so many technical problems? try SP1 or contact the WindowsXP Vendor

  • What's With Volume Logic Plug-In Not Working With iTunes V7. and Up

    Hello Folks. I recently updated to iTunes ve 7.0.2 and now my great Volume Logic Plug-in won't work. I downloaded the latest update and then read info on the Plantronics site about the problems with the plug-in with new itunes updates.
    Is anyone here figured out what's going on or a workaround. That plug-in makes such a positive difference in music sound quality, the tunes almost feel "naked" without it
    Steve

    Prior to the 1.3.2 released (beta or the now-available final), Volume Logic did not work at all with iTunes 7. According to Plantronics, Volume Logic does not work with Airtunes and the AIrport Express (it's stated right in their FAQ).

  • Java plug-in not working in multi-server instance

    I am having problems getting the Sun Java plug-in to work
    when attempting to use the Browse Server button within the CF
    Administrator for directory browsing features such as the Code
    Analyzer, Verity Collections,etc., in a multi-server instance
    setup. The plug-in works fine within the first instance. For all
    the other instances (2 through n), the Java plug-in doesn't do
    anything except show an image of a sun with the words Java Sun
    Microsystems with the rays of the sun going around and round.
    We are using CFMX 7.0.1 with the Sun Java plug-in 1.5.0_06.
    Anyone else experience this problem before?

    First, you need to get off of Java 1.5 and back to 1.4.2. 1.5
    isn't supported yet and breaks stuff.
    Secondly, you need to make sure RDS is enabled on all of your
    instances.

  • Why the iPad internal speakers not working with some applications and key sound?

    My iPad1 ' internal speakers not fully functioning. It is working with music and video, YouTube , but not working with applications such as games.
    Also with key pad sound .
    Please help me in this regard.

    If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
    System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
    Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
    If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
    If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
    If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
    This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

  • 'The provider is not compatible with the version of Oracle client error' popping up randomly

    I have several asp.net pages running on an application server which generally work without issue. However I've had the Server error "The provider is not compatible with the version of Oracle client error" crop up twice seemingly randomly that affects all of my pages that interact with the DB server. A simple reboot of the application server solves the issue and the pages run again with no problems. What could be causing this problem?

    Sorry if I wasn't clear initially. Basically I've got 2 different applications in 2 different IIS folders on the webserver, each with several asp.net pages. They work fine for a period of time and then inexplicably that error gets thrown and affects all of my asp.net pages in both applications. The admin tells me that the other older applications on the same server are unaffected. A simple reboot of the server fixes the issue until the next time it happens (I can't identify any consistent point where this crash happens, the admin originally suggested that there might be something in my code causing a memory issue). I had the same applications hosted on my local machine for a time and this never happened as well as it never happening when I run them in localhost. How can I trace whether or not another part of my application is trying to load ODP.NET by itself? How can I verify the DLL search order for my application?

  • Remote not working with WinXP 64

    I have a X-FI Platinum card with the front module and remote. Under WinXP Pro everything worked fine. I have since upgraded to WinXP 64 bit Pro and the remote does not work.
    I have installed the latest driver for WinXP 64 (At least last weeks driver) which went OK. Soundcard seems to work OK. I have a 5. speaker setup and I get sound from all speakers. Before there was the createi've audio console that was in the system tray, but that doesn't seem to be there with WinXP 64.
    Is there another download that I need to do for the Remote to function ? Also I no longer have any sound test options in the audio console is there another download for that as well ??System Specs:ASUS P5N32 SLI Deluxe MOBOIntel P4 660 processor2 GB RAMBFG 7800 GT video cardX-FI Platinum sound cardWinXP Pro 64 bit?Thanks,?wstreaker

    I am not sure whether the remote software gets installed with the 64 bit drivers or not. I know some people have turned to alternate software to control the remote on WinXP 64 bit edition successfully. I am sure you can find out what I mean by searching these forums, I am not allowed to say any more than that. Hope that helps?

  • HT1338 Java Plug in not working?

    I have re-installed java several times and can not get the plug in to work.  So frustrating.

    Hi mommaduckof2,
    Have you tried downloading this Java update?   Hopefully it will help ....
    Java for OS X 2013-003
    The article below explains what this update does:
    About Java for OS X 2013-003
    This release updates the Apple-provided system Java SE 6 to version 1.6.0_45 and is for OS X versions 10.7 or later.
    This update uninstalls the Apple-provided Java applet plug-in from all web browsers. To use applets on a web page, click on the region labeled "Missing plug-in" to go download the latest version of the Java applet plug-in from Oracle.
    This update also removes the Java Preferences application, which is no longer required to configure applet settings.
    Cheers,

  • Java plug-in not working in Lion!?!

    Websites that run with a Java plug-in aren't working now with Lion. I've tried all the different browsers, and nothing works. Coupon sites and others don't work. No updates found. Would really appreciate some help!!

    You have installed it but you haven't enabled it. Open this app:
    Applications > Utilities > Java Preferences.app
    and click the 'enabled' checkbox. Restart any browsers.

  • Satellite M35 - Brightness Not working with WXP SP2

    If you dont have Tools & Utilities CD please check Toshiba US download page and there you will find everything you need.

  • Nik Software Plug-ins not working with LR3

    Hello,
    I have both LR 2.7 and LR3 running on my computer.  When I installed LR 3, it load the Nik software plug-ins into the external editor section like LR 2.7.  However, when I try to use a Nik plug-in in LR 3 I get an error message that the " File xxxxx.tif can not be opened because it does not exist or access is denied."  The Nik interface opens, then I get this error message, but then it places the xxxxx.tif file in the film strip.  The plug-ins work just fine with LR 2.7.  I've uninstalled and re-installed the plug-ins, but the same error message pops up in LR 3.  I have contacted Nik Software, but have not gotten an answer that works.  Has anyone else had this problem?  If so, what was your solution.  I've tried everything I know of except uninstalling LR 3 and re-installing.  I'm using Windows 7 64bit.  I have CS4 (32 and 64bit) and CS5 (32 and 63bit) running and the plug-ins work just fine with them.
    Thanks for your help in advance!
    Dennis

    Hi Martin,
    You might try going in the pref and under external editing and try to manually set up each one.  Go down to additonal external editing.  Click on Choose and then go to the folder where you have your Nik software installed and choose the program file.  There will be dialog box telling you to name the file, call it anything you want and the click ok.  Go to the drop down bar and select Save as new preset.  Close LR3 and then reopen and check to see if your program is there under the new name.  If not, you probably will have un-install all the plug-ins and re-install.  Hope this helps!

  • Java Web Start not working with Proxy

    I have Java Web Start program not listening to proxy settings. It tries to access localhost using our proxy settings, but with no user name or password. I'm wondering if Java Web Start has proxy settings somewhere. I'm not sure since when we disable the proxy settings the program works without issue. Any thoughts?
    Thanks

    For instance Safari uses those System Proxy settings, Firefox uses it's own!
    So Java is using it's own, now we're waiting for an expert to drop in!

  • DropDownMenu Plug in not working with list query

    Hi,
    I installed Tab-Menu COM.JWILSON.APEX.DROP_MENU.
    I created a region for that plug in using the following query
    select LIST_ENTRY_ID ID
    ,LIST_ENTRY_PARENT_ID pid
    ,ENTRY_TEXT name
    ,entry_target link,level
    from APEX_APPLICATION_LIST_ENTRIES
    where list_name ='Nav'
    and application_id =:APP_ID
    start with list_entry_parent_id is null
    connect by prior list_entry_id = list_entry_parent_id
    It is creating the Tab Menus but if I click on any of the tabs or tab menus it is throwing following error
    Bad Request
    The request could not be understood by server due to malformed syntax.
    When i checked the url it is showing http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=&APP_ID.:8:&SESSION.::&DEBUG.::::

  • QT7 gone, ProRes & MPEG2 plug ins not working with MPEG Streamclip

    In the get info tabs they say 'Open With : SCIM' the rest say '<None>'
    Just got my new imac running 10.6 yesterday and ran migration assistant.
    My FCP license is for 5, will be upgrading soon (waiting for a 64bit release, fingers crossed) which should install fresh versions of the codecs.
    Is there anything I can do in the meantime?
    A bit miffled because I paid good money for my MPEG2 license.

    Ta Muchly, got back roughly to where I was, QTPRO functionality preserved.
    No sign of those ProRes codecs, I think they may never have been there in the first place, at work I use a Mac Pro with FCP6 / FCS2 and I may have tricked myself that they were available on FCP5 / FCS1 when they may not be.
    FCP5 is unstable on 10.6 anyway (apparantly) so I'll be on FCE at home until I upgrqade anyway, and Apple Intermediate COdec is still available and working well.
    Many thanks for your help with my question.

    Hi,
    Thank you for your post here.
    Firstly we need you to collect
    TMG live logging.
    As you mentioned, you can normally get website but cannot login in, so I think there may be something wrong with the HTTP post method. You may need to capture the packets to see what happened.
    You can use
    Network Monitor 3.4.
